Chapter 382: They can be together, but the house must be left behind

After dinner, Qin Huairu kept sitting at the doorway of her home.

She was waiting for Bang Geng to come back, wanting to ask what he had learned on his first day of driving lessons.

Two years ago, Shazhu paid for Bang Geng to learn how to drive.

But Bang Geng still hasn't found a job he considers suitable.

Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai did help him find a few jobs, but he quit after only a few days.

These days, Bang Geng does nothing all day.

No one knows what he's up to.

Every day he comes back only in the late night, then sleeps until noon, goes out after eating, and doesn't return until late night again.

No one knows how long she waited, but Bang Geng finally showed up.

Qin Huairu hurriedly stood up, went to meet him, and asked:

"Bang Geng, why are you coming back so late?"

Bang Geng's eyes darted aside: "Oh, I'm with friends looking into some projects."

"I've been busy lately."

Qin Huairu: "What are you still scouting? We're out of money."

Bang Geng: "Don't worry about it, okay."

"I will definitely make something of myself."

"I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."

After saying that somewhat impatiently, Bang Geng turned and was about to leave.

Qin Huairu hurriedly called him back.

"What's the rush, really."

"Actually, Mom doesn't want to meddle too much either."

"You've grown up; Mom knows you'll know your limits."

"I waited up so late just to ask you: what did you learn on your first day at driving school?"

Bang Geng: "Theory, what's up? Why are you suddenly asking about that?"

Qin Huairu: "Oh, just asking casually."

"So you didn't learn to drive on the first day at driving school?"

Bang Geng: "How could that be possible?"

"You need to learn the theory well before you can actually touch the car."

Qin Huairu nodded and said: "Alright, I got it. Go rest."

Bang Geng looked at Qin Huairu for a few seconds, nodded, and turned to leave.

Qin Huairu watched his retreating figure until it disappeared from her sight, then after a while she came to her senses.

She then let out a long sigh and walked back inside.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

She is increasingly worried that Shazhu will end up with Teacher Ran.

If they get together, Shazhu will still help her as before, which wouldn't be bad.

After all, Teacher Ran has money.

From now on she could get even more money from Shazhu.

But what about Shazhu's house?

Two rooms—if Shazhu gets together with Teacher Ran, even if he wanted to leave the house to her, Teacher Ran wouldn't agree.

"No, Shazhu can be with Teacher Ran, but we must find a way to get those two rooms of his into our hands."

"Otherwise I'll just break them up so they can't be together."

"How can I now get Shazhu to transfer the house to Bang Geng?"

Qin Huairu lay in bed and began to think.

A few days later.

Qin Huairu went out early in the morning.

She came to the place Liu Lan must pass on her way to work and waited there.

After waiting a while, Liu Lan finally appeared on her bicycle.

"Liu Lan, Liu Lan..."

Qin Huairu waved and called out to Liu Lan.

Liu Lan also heard it, saw her, and involuntarily frowned.

She came up to her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Huairu: "I'm waiting for you."

Liu Lan: "Waiting for me? Anything up?"

Qin Huairu: "I didn't go to the restaurant to find you because I was worried your boss would blame you."

"So I'm waiting for you here."

Liu Lan: "Well, if that's what you're saying, I should thank you."

"What do you need from me?"

Qin Huairu hesitated a bit, then said: "It's still because of Shazhu."

"How are things between him and your boss now?"

Liu Lan opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but finally changed her wording and said:

Forget it, I don't even know how to tell you.

This matter really isn't easy to talk about.

Qin Huairu: "Look at you, what's there that's hard to say?"

Just tell the truth.

Really, it's nothing, ah.

Just say it, I can handle it.

Besides, Shazhu and I are just neighbors now.

Liu Lan: "Qin Huairu, I'm not saying this about you."

If you truly like Shazhu, after all these years you should have been together with him earlier.

Now it's fine, right? You regret it? Our boss has appeared.

Qin Huairu: "What's the use of saying these now?"

Just say it, ah.

Liu Lan: "This Ran Qiuyue, she's really not an ordinary woman."

Before, she kept her distance from Shazhu.

She's also impolite toward Shazhu.

As long as Shazhu dares to break the rules, he will receive her punishment.

But lately, it seems, she seems to have taken a liking to Shazhu.

I'm just saying it seems.

I don't know if she really wants to learn cooking or if it's fake, just wanting to get close to Shazhu under the pretense of learning cooking.

Anyway, these days she's been coming to our back kitchen to help, putting aside her airs.

In a bit, Zhuzi, learn to chop vegetables.

In a bit, Zhuzi, learn to cook.

Look at Shazhu, always cheerful, that patience— I've never seen anyone teach apprentices like him.

Hand-in-hand, his way of speaking is so gentle.

Not a single dirty word, and......

Qin Huairu felt more and more upset listening; hearing this, she finally couldn't hold back.

Impatiently interrupting, she said:

Enough, enough, I know it all, don't go on.

Go to work.

Liu Lan: "Okay, then I'm off."

I dare not be late now.

Our boss is too strict.

You don't know, being held in all day makes me not even dare to tell a joke.

Because our boss is here.

Well, these days I just watch their performance.

I'm leaving.

Qin Huairu: "Hurry up and go."

After returning home, Qin Huairu always wore a dead-person face.

Jia Zhangshi looked for a while, got fed up.

She shook her head and asked: "Huairu, what's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"

Qin Huairu hesitated a moment, then said: "Mom, Shazhu still doesn't want to marry me."

Jia Zhangshi let out a long sigh, saying: "Ah, if you had agreed earlier back then, it would have been better."

Now that this vile Ran Teacher has appeared.

Ah, who could have imagined this would happen.

You say, how did this vile person suddenly come back?

Qin Huairu: "As for Shazhu, I'm worried that after he's with Ran Teacher, he won't continue to support us."

If we say we're not doing this business, we still have quite a bit of savings.

Life can still go on.

But now, ah.

If there's no support from Shazhu, I really can't imagine what our future days will be like.

Moreover, the main point is Shazhu's two rooms; we might not be able to live there anymore...

Jia Zhangshi interrupted: "That won't do, Shazhu being with Ran Teacher is okay."

But he must leave the house for us.
